However, third-quarter revenue fell short of analysts\u2019 estimate of $908.1 million. The company\u2019s third-quarter sales were weighed down by Payless. The company\u2019s same store sales in U.S. dropped 3.7%, while same store sales at Payless dropped 4.5%.<\/p>\n<p>Over the next three years, Collective Brands plans to close 475 weak stores.<\/p>\n<p>Michael J. Massey, CEO of Collective Brands, said that the company\u2019s operating results in the third quarter reflect both the challenges it is facing as well as opportunities it sees for market improvement. Massey further said that while August was weak in the company\u2019s Payless business, pricing actions improved sales on a sequential basis during the quarter. Massey added that at the same time the company continued to implement the previously announced aggressive actions to transform the Payless business model for the longer term including increasing its mix of Incredible Value Every Day Product, launching more tailored assortments across half of its domestic store and base and targeted discounts for most loyal customers.<\/p>\n<p>More Posts by this author<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/interoil-shares-rally-after-company-signs-heads-of-agreement-for-lng-supply-ioc\/15728\"><br \/>\nInterOil Shares Rally after Company Signs Heads of Agreement for LNG Supply (IOC)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/gold-prices-slip-as-dollar-strengthens\/15727\"><br \/>\nGold Prices Slip as Dollar Strengthens<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/market-updates\/stocks-end-lower-on-persistent-euro-zone-worries\/15725\"><br \/>\nStocks End Lower on Persistent Euro Zone Worries<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/jp-morgan-chase-purchases-lme-stake-from-mf-global\/15720\"><br \/>\nJP Morgan Chase Purchases LME Stake from MF Global<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/netflix-avoids-class-action-lawsuit-in-wal-mart-case\/15719\"><br \/>\nNetflix Avoids Class Action Lawsuit In Wal-Mart Case<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/gap-eyeing-chinese-markets-for-international-growth\/15718\"><br \/>\nGAP Eyeing Chinese Markets For International Growth<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/german-merck-demands-back-facebook-page\/15717\"><br \/>\nGerman Merck Demands Back Facebook Page<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<table style=\"border:none;margin:0;\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:5px;vertical-align:top;\" valign=\"top\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5.jpg\" alt=\"edliston\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" class=\"photo\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:5px;vertical-align:top;\" valign=\"top\">\n<div style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><b>Post Written By: Ed Liston <\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:10pt;\">\n<p>Ed Liston is a senior contributing editor at TheStockMarketWatch.com.
